Package: bash Version: 5.1-3 Severity: wishlist
Hey there. Currently, /etc/bash.bashrc (where it's commented though) and /etc/skel/.bashrc use the following to enable bash-completion: >if ! shopt -oq posix; then > if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then > . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion > elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then > . /etc/bash_completion > fi >fi It would be nice, if instead of this, something like the following could be used. >if [ -f /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then > . /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh >fi That file is shipped by bash-completion, so when the original code would work, it's also guaranteed to be there. It also does some checks like whether the shell is interactive, whether bash-completion has already been sourced and so on. Plus it's what any login shell does, where that file is sourced already - at least with Debian's default /etc/profile. And I think it's a good idea, if it's guaranteed when the two do the same. btw: It *is* still necessary to source the file from within .bashrc, cause /etc/profile isn't sourced on non-login shells (i.e. terminal launched from a desktop environment) Cheers, Chris.
